NEW BBC drama Sherwood is set to have the nation hooked with its tale of murder and unrest.
The series – which is led by Lesley Manville and David Morrissey – involves two gruesome killings in a former mining village.
Where is Sherwood set?
Award-winning playwright and dramatist, James Graham, has created Sherwood, which is set in a mining village near Nottingham where he grew up.
The contemporary six-part drama for BBC One sees two shocking and unexpected murders shatter an already fractured community leading to one of the largest manhunts in British history.
For the series, writer James has drawn on his experiences of growing up in post-industrial Nottinghamshire.
He told the BBC: “It means the world to have this opportunity to bring the voices of a community I grew up in to BBC One.”
